April 9, (THEWILL) – Popular reality star, Josephine Ijeoma Itabor, aka Phyna, has revealed that Multichoice has finally reached out to her after she called them out over the outstanding prizes she won on season seven of the reality television show, Big Brother Naija.
THEWILL had reported that Phyna called out the organisers of the reality show for failing to fulfil their part of the obligation by giving her all the prizes she won during the show.
The Practitioners of Content Creating Skit-making and Influencers Guild of Nigeria, PCCSIGN, also sent a memo to Multichoice to pay up the debts owed to Phyna.
Giving an update, Phyna revealed that Multichoice reached out to her and that three of the brands yet to redeem their pledge have agreed to do so.
She revealed that Pepsi has agreed to supply her with their drinks for one year, Travelbeta, an online travel company also agreed to commit to a trip for two while UNIK soap would be giving her a one-year supply of soap.
However, nothing was said about her outstanding 1 BTC.
A public statement released by PCCSIGN reads, “On behalf of the Practitioners of Content Creation, Skit-making, and Influencers Guild (PCCSIGN), we write to you regarding our previous correspondence with your organisation concerning Phyna’s outstanding debts. We extend our appreciation for your prompt resolution response concerning the debts owed by MultiChoice Nigeria, encompassing Seven-Up Bottling Company (Pepsi), Travelbeta, and Evans Industries (UNIKSoap).
